I’ve moved back to my country of birth and Taco Bell seems to be a thing here now.
I’ve tried the quesadillas and the crunch supreme and it’s been… life changing.
What else should I be trying?

I’d argue you already tried the best two things, but maybe give the Chalupa a try as those are pretty good from what i remember.
Five. Layer. Burrito.
True Mexican food from an actual restaurant. For your health.
When I visit the US I do this exclusively from family-owned restaurants, hence why I’ve never tried Taco Bell.
But very few exist here, and none within delivery distance from me.
You’re not missing out on anything. There’s nothing fun or exciting about eating barely human grade meat and having an upset stomach for the rest of the day.
It’s one of those things much like soda or highly processed chips/snacks. I guarantee if you stop putting it into your body for a month, the next time you try it, your body will reject it. These people shouldn’t be proud that they’ve beaten their gut into submission with years of abuse.
Mexican food is good, I would say that Spanish food I’m more used to is still playing catchup!
That’s a completely different genre of food. That’s like someone saying “I like ring pops” and telling them “you should get an actual diamond ring, much higher quality”.
Maybe not the best parallel but a good point nonetheless.
A more apt comparison might be:
“What’s the best all-beef hot dog I can buy at my local supermarket?”
“Ugh! OMG! Don’t do that to yourself! Why would you even want to bother with eating beef if that’s the shit you’re going to put in your body?! Just get some Japanese A5 Wagyu ribeye and thank me later!”
Mexicans love Taco Bell though. (Am half Mexican) And it’s probably the healthiest of the fast foods. Plus, OP asked about what to eat at Taco Bell, so your reply isn’t helpful
Not Taco Bell, for starters.
Grilled cheese burrito with steak.
Fuck the nay-sayers in this thread. They’re just miserable/have IBS
Those grilled cheese burritos slap. I remember when I first got one, it was larger than I expected but it was so good. Can’t go wrong with steak.
They have the new cantina chicken menu, but I haven’t tried it yet. Looks good, though.
The Cantina Chicken Quesadilla is one of my favorite items lately. The new green sauce is pretty good too.

Exactly. Read the OP’s question in the title and immediately thought the answer is “Literally any other restaurant.”
Crunchwrap, either the breakfast one or the lunch/dinner one. If hard pressed, I’d say the breakfast one is better.
I don’t like the Baja Blast personally, but you should try it as I think it’s the only place you can get it.
Diablo sauce I think tastes like a spiced ketchup or BBQ sauce, too sweet for me, but the girlfriend loves it.
Those are the most unique items to me.
Cheesy Gordita Crunch
The black bean crunchwrap supreme can be made vegan if you order it fresco!
if you order it fresco
what does this mean
Without cheese or sour cream, just fresh tomato.
Outdoors
Running away as fast as you can
Cheesy gordita crunch
with the nacho cheese shell inside
I…I didn’t know you could request that…omg
If you eat meat, the breakfast crunch wrap supreme is made my angels.
If Taco Bell ever releases a Breakfast crunch wrap supreme with impossible sausage, I will eat it 5 days a week and balloon to 400 pounds.
when they are available, the nacho fries are incredible also.
Mmm MSG fries
(Don’t get me wrong I like them too but let’s be honest here, they almost have as much MSG as KFC fries)
What is wrong with MSG? Seriously.
Nothing in the right quantity, I use it in my own cooking when I need more umami in a dish.
There are old studies out there that said it was a problem ingredient (hence “no MSG” labels all over different foods), but those have been largely debunked due to racial bias.
In excess, the MSG flavor tends to linger, which can be annoying sometimes.
A bidet
Hey! This guy doesn’t know about the three seashells!
How dare someone downvote you for this
The haters can claw my baja blast and my cantina chicken quesadillas from my cold, dead hands.
If you’re still eating from there, then it shouldn’t be long now.
I joke, but not really. You have to ask yourself, how is it possible that a little chicken, lettuce tomatoes with some sauce on a “tortillas” can make so many people sick.
how is it possible that chicken can get people sick
Huh? Poultry is in the news for illness reasons all the time, lettuce comes up often too. Not saying it isn’t for scummy corner cutting reasons, but don’t act like taco bell is somehow the first chain to give someone food poisoning.
don’t act like taco bell is somehow the first chain to give someone food poisoning.
It’s one of the only chains with that reputation. It’s kinda of weird to brag about liking it so much but hey, you do you.
Uh huh, and definitely 100% normal for half the thread to be smugly judging OP for enjoying it.
